Here, we propose a novel fullerene-like molecule—a so-called fulleryne—to increase potential hydrogen storage capacity of carbon-based systems. Fullerynes are spherical molecules characterized by acetylenic substitution in the aromatic bond structure of fullerenes.
Fullerene C 60, being a tremendous allotrope of carbon, is widely used in hydrogen storage. This article discusses the hydrogen storage capacity of fullerene and effects of dopants by some groups or atoms on fullerene for hydrogen storage capacity.
The attractive interactions between the polarized dipole of hydrogen molecules and the surface dipole of doped fullerenes can be the cause of this exothermicity. These results imply that fullerenes decorated with alkali metals are promising as likely hydrogen storage media.
Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we explore systematically the capacity of charged carbon fullerenes Cn (20 ≤ n ≤ 82) as hydrogen storage media.
